It's early days in the Primera Division and both Sporting San José and Deportivo Saprissa are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
Deportivo Saprissa could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Primera Division game only three sleeps ago. That game, against San Carlos, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Deportivo Saprissa.
15 - 8 - 7 with 54-38. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Deportivo Saprissa when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Deportivo Saprissa play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
